Once you send a text message, it's out in the world, much like posting on social media. Apple does have their feature that allows you to unsend a text in iMessage, but this doesn't work if it wasn't an iMessage. Even with this feature, it doesn't guarantee it will be removed from their phone. If their iPhone hasn't been updated to iOS 16 or later, then this function won't work. There's no support for unsending a text to a non-iPhone. It's always good to double check what you're sending before you send a message.

Recovering Deleted Messages:


Things to Consider:


A. Ask for the Contents:

Ask the recipient for a copy & paste, or to take some screenshots for you of the message content. Take a Screenshot - Apple Support


B. Look on your Carrier's Site:

Log in in to my Carrier's site, I can see my messages going be 30 dye --no more. So, see if you can do the same or similar.
